Sexual device manual for persons with disabilities
This manual was created as a practical resource for persons with disabilities and health care clinicians who work with these clients. It includes research, clinical expertise, and product information to aid with dialogue surrounding sexual and reproductive issues and disabilities. The information presented here is not prescriptive, and the specific products not recommended per se, but are meant to provide examples and illustrations of some of the potential options that can be introduced into the sexual practices of the individual or be used as an adjunct in the discussions of sexuality and disability by the health care clinician. The devices included are a sampling of what is available (in Canada) in 2009. Sexual Device Manual for Persons with Disabilities

What adolescents with disabilities want in life: Implications for service delivery
Contrary to popular opinion, adolescence is not a time of turmoil and strife for most individuals. When the environment meets the psychological needs of adolescents, who are asserting their independence in all ways (physically, socially, cognitively, and emotionally), adolescence can be a relatively "smooth" period of transition between childhood and adulthood (Eccles et al., 1993). During late adolescence, most young people with average cognitive ability start careers or begin higher education, move away from home, develop their personal relationships, and consolidate their identities (Hallum, 1995). These developments ultimately affect their quality of life, success in life, and happiness.
